Warning- for when you up the pace.

[bogan]

......
You will learn a hell of a lot about how your bike handles and reacts when pushed because I can assure you right now the harder you ride the more different your bike will handle and for some that aren't aware, it WILL scare the shit out of you.

Be warned and be prepared.

His post was obviously aimed at making people think about the dangers of riding faster, and consider them when/if they decide to twist the throttle a bit more.

Maybe those who have just seen some motogp will read this and not try and chuck an elbow down straight away, instead will gradualy build up to it.

For all those who think posts should be censored in case they encourage someone to behave dangerously, htfu, look around, surely we live in too much of a nanny state already, stop making it worse!!!!

Fukin ek Steve!
You were on Pauls case within 7 mins of his post'! Your like a praying mantis mate.

I agree with DB to an extent. The best place to gain this knowledge is the controled enviroment of the circuit in the form of track days or better still advanced rider training days
However if there is someone out there able to pass on their experience to someone (Beyond in this case) then good on ya. Not everybody is going to venture onto the track for some top notch advice and experience, but as paul has stated there is a fair chance anyone with a bike is at some point going to find themselves in the position he has highlighted and maybe if they have taken on board what has been said are able to react appropriately then maybe one less statistic.
I guess you could take the niave view that talking about it encourages it but the real world dictates otherwise

No, if that were the case you'd be suggesting that motorcyclists should always ride within their limits - rather than pushing them.

I am a realist and chose not to live in Fantasy Land. No one I have ever met who rides a motorbike has never pushed the limits or upped their own pace. Nearly everyone I have met has had a close call or accident through pushing it.

It's time you left Alice back in Wonderland and began to realise that just about everyone who owns a bike is simply not going to go slow because you say so and nearly everyone of them is not going to go faster and do dum arse things because they saw it on Youtube or read about it on a forum.

I know I should give it up but I just cant. Do you care to respond to my question katman?

Ahhh, no.

Let me lose some of these infraction points first.

Look Steve, come on, how can you not see the merits of this Thread?

[AllanB]

While track days are realistically the best place to hoon, there are many reasons people don't do them. This does not make them poor or ill practised riders on the street, indeed there are some extremely skilled road riders out there who's track involvement is limited to buying lukewarm hotdogs and getting sun-burnt while watching a race.
On the other side of the coin I have seen skilled track riders treating public roads like a race track with no allowance given for a bit of gravel/pot hole/camper van etc mid corner on a blind bend. Silly speeds.

The original post is good and relevant as a reminder to keep alert when 'pushing-on' regardless where you are.

[boomer]

Quite frankly Paul, the likes of you wanking on about pushing your boundries and finding 'the zone' is what causes a large percentage of Motorcycling's accidents.

Which hat did you pull this Gem out of?!



Seriously you're full of it.

[mossy1200]

One day I woke up to the fact the 100k zone was fine for the road if you own a bike that feels fun to ride at 100.
The erogenous zone is on the track.
Personal opinion only"Latest sports bikes are to easy to ride fast therefore are not fun to ride at moderate speeds".

Because I can place it alongside his videos of his own irresponsible riding.

Shit, I put a lot of time and effort into those videos but yes... I can see they may be a little mediocre.

Nice post Paul

Feeling the chassis twist and contort, on the k7 thou, that time with you, Logan And Ben was an unforgettable moment. Adrenaline infused shenanigans Something that's never happened on a smooth track

Yep, that would scare the shit out of you alright

Yea, I know what you're saying but! Beyond is also showing responsibilty for those actions eh? He's educating! He's obviously learnt stuff, I don't think giving him shite is condusive!

Yeah well Boomer is easily scared

No, he's not.

He's trying to justify his own manner of riding.
